Let's hear it for the weather forecast people! There has been notification for the past 48 hours that bad weather is on its way from the east. Arctic weather is blowing in from Russia; they are calling it "The Beast from the East".
As predicted it arrived in the early hours of this morning and is set to continue for another 24 to 48 hours.
The warning to the public for Scotland was raised from yellow (be aware) to amber (be prepared i.e. for traffic disruption). And at midday the central belt of Scotland was issued a Red Alert (serious trouble ahead with possible loss of life or property).
Early morning view of the back garden with the lovely flowers which were from John and Wendy and family in Australia. They are in the porch-garden room where it is cold but great for keeping flowers from wilting; they'll last for weeks and weeks like this!
It has snowed off and on
all day. Schools are closed, messages on radio and TV are "Don't Go
Out" unless it is really important.

My neighbour's back door!
The 2 'mingos in the garden now have snow up to their knees...and it is set to continue!
